    BONFIRE TOFFEE


    Source of Recipe


    the web

    List of Ingredients




    1 lb sugar,
    preferably Demerara
    1/3 pint water
    1 ¼ ozs butter
    2 level tablespoons golden syrup
    1 teaspoon vinegar

    Recipe



    1 Put all the ingredients into a strong saucepan and stir over a steady
    heat until the sugar has dissolved.

    2 Bring to the boil and cook until the mixture reaches the 'hard crack'
    stage, 290 degrees F. To test for the hard crack stage drop about half a
    teaspoon of the mixture into a cup of cold water, if it is hard then it
    is done, if still soft and chewy cook for a little longer and test
    again.

    3 Pour into oiled or buttered tin and either allow to set as a slab or
    mark in squared as toffee becomes partially set. Break when completely
    set.

    Variations 1 Use black treacle instead of golden syrup 2 Add peanuts or
    chopped mixed nuts.
